waitForDevice not working

[valentincognito]

It seems like the waitForDevice method is not working anymore. It throws an error like so: Unhandled rejection FailError: Failure: 'unknown host service'

Anyone had a similar issue ?

[MathiasGilson]

For those who are curious, the problem is pretty well summed up here:

TL;DR the adb server used to accept the command 'wait-for-any', but now the command has to be 'wait-for-device-any'. I'm planning on submitting a pull request when I'm done with my little project.

Thanks for info! Hopefully we get fix asap released..

@bradyriddle do you have fix already in some fork/branch so I could try it out?

[bradyriddle]

I do not, but if you do an npm install and go into the node module folder and find adb-kit you can find a file called waitfordevicecommand.js. if you go in that file you'll see the 'wait-for-any' string. Just swap it out and it should work.

@bradyriddle I'm not seeing the waitfordevicecommand.js file within my node modules folder. Do you know where it could be located now? Getting the same error: Unhandled rejection FailError: Failure: 'unknown host service' when I try using the .waitForDevice method.

@Andychochocho node_modules/adbkit/lib/adb/command/host-serial/waitfordevice.js on line 17:

Change this: this._send("host-serial:" + serial + ":wait-for-device"); to this: this._send("host-serial:" + serial + ":wait-for-any-device");

This issue seems really simple to fix. It's a 1 liner, someone should submit a PR.
